Abstract: In an embodiment a coil includes a tube having a tube wall of an electrically conductive material, wherein the tube has an inductive portion in which a gap is arranged in the tube wall which shapes the tube wall in the inductive portion to form a helix, wherein the tube has at least one contact section including a connection region and at least one terminal region, wherein the connection region has the same contour as an adjacent portion of the helix, wherein the terminal region is an electrical terminal of the coil, and wherein the connection region electrically connects the terminal region to the inductive portion.

Abstract: In an embodiment a coil includes a tube comprising a tube wall composed of an electrically conductive material, wherein the tube wall has an inductive portion in which a gap is arranged that shapes the tube wall so the tube wall forms a helix in the inductive portion, and wherein the tube wall has two contact portions, each contact portion forming an electrical terminal.

Abstract: A chip inductance is composed of a wound coil core (1) that is arranged erect on a system carrier (6). Perpendicularly residing clips (7) are located on the system carrier, whereby the coil core (1) is arranged within the space formed by the clips. The terminals are thereby located essentially outside the space existing between the end face planes of the coil core (1).
